The company is recruiting specialists
Xiaomi, according to Chinese media, is working on extended-range EV (EREV) systems for electrified models. The manufacturer is already recruiting development engineers with relevant experience.
According to the job descriptions, engineers will be responsible for developing and testing range extender systems, designing system components, and helping build the supply chain. Employees will also be responsible for researching future trends in range-extending technologies.
The company is seeking engineers with a bachelor’s degree or higher with more than three years of experience managing the design and development of such systems. The candidate must also have experience working on multiple mass production and service projects. In addition to EREV developers, Xiaomi is looking for engineers for internal combustion systems, air intake, and exhaust systems, as well as other engine specialists.
Xiaomi will add an internal combustion engine to its cars to increase the range
Xiaomi is known to be testing an electric car, but some media outlets have stated that the upcoming Xiaomi sedan is quite long, leading to speculation that the designers have left room for an internal combustion engine. Working as a generator, such an engine serves precisely to increase the range of electrified models.
Back in August, Xiaomi began producing machines. As of early September, Xiaomi’s Beijing plant was producing about 50 vehicles per week.
